Sometimes I'll tweet a bunch about campaign finance and voting rights and then wonder, why don't I have a million followers?

After 5 amazing years as ED at CCC, I say goodbye this week & hand the reins over to the incredible Darius Kemp. I've had the opportunity to quadruple the team and budget, launch and grow new programs, pass bills, and win ballot measures. I'm so proud of our team and our work.

Californians deserve to know how their representatives vote.

“Allowing bills to die behind closed doors for reasons that are never made known runs contrary to the purposes of having an open, transparent & accountable government,” said @_jonathanstein.

GA Secretary of State confirms polls will stay open to accommodate every voter in line by 7pm, even at those locations evacuated. Police & dogs are sweeping the locations. The only question is how many voters may have left because of the bomb threats.

I shared some thoughts on how to build a more representative California democracy on my way to vote yesterday.

[California Common Cause @CACommonCause]

🗳️ Too many important, local offices are won in the primary election before most voters cast their ballot. We want to change that.

Watch to learn how we can make our elections more representative!

[Adam Ambrogi @AdamAmbrogi]

I did ask a room of younger journalists recently if they knew the terms "blue shift" or "red mirage" and it was not commonly known as a potential counting dynamic (who knows how much it will impact the count this cycle, as tactics are changing). The counting is the key.

[Emily Ramshaw @eramshaw]

Helene — and now Milton — will impact voting for some Americans. Here’s what election workers are doing about it. @bcrodriguez's latest. https://t.co/8tuRn9uIxx

[California Common Cause @CACommonCause]

🗳️ This fall, the power to determine the future of our communities lies in our vote. Voting YES on Measures DD & LL will help ensure that the people run LA — not power hungry politicians.

Independent redistricting means fair maps, fair representation, & an equitable LA for all.

Every other school should commission Cal students to do their gameday signs.

These are top-tier.

How well does CA ensure access for voters with disabilities or who don’t speak English fluently?

To find out, the @AsianLawCaucus and @CommonCauseCA dispatched more than 300 volunteers to 850-plus polling sites: https://t.co/fs2wTfcawu

Important to note that the GA AG just yesterday told the GA State Election Board that these proposed rules, just passed 3-2, "are not tethered to any statute—and are, therefore, likely the precise type of impermissible legislation that agencies cannot do."
